Brocade SAN Glossary

Fibre Channel Service Protocol. The common FC-4 level protocol for all

services, transparent to the fabric type or topology.

Fabric Shortest Path First. A routing protocol used by Fibre Channel switches.

Fabric OS State Synchronization. FSS service is related to High Availability

(HA). The primary function of FSS is to deliver state update messages from

active components to their peer standby components.

The Brocade software license that allows multiple E_Ports on a switch.

Concurrent transmission and reception of data on a link.

A loop device that has an entry in name server.

A fabric port that can operate as either an F_Port or an FL_Port.

A device that connects incompatible networks by providing the necessary

translation, both for hardware and software.

Gigabit Ethernet port available on some Brocade switches; supports FCIP

and FC Channel Routing Service features with link speeds up to 1 Gbit/sec.

Gigabit Interface Converter. A removable transceiver module permitting Fibre

Channel and Gigabit Ethernet physical-layer transport.

Gigabits per second. Also, Gbit/sec.

Gigabytes per second. Also GB/sec.

1,062,500,000 bits per second.

Gigabit Link Module. A semitransparent transceiver that incorporates

serializing/deserializing functions.

The code name for a Brocade 4 Gbit/sec switch ASIC used in the Brocade

200E Switch.

A generic port that supports either E_Port or F_Port functionality.

Graphical User Interface.

High Availability. A set of features in Brocade switches designed to provide

maximum reliability and nondisruptive replacement of key hardware and

software modules.

A mode of communication that allows a port to either transmit or receive

frames at any time except simultaneously (with the exception of link control

frames, which can be transmitted at any time).

The AL_PA that an NL_Port attempts to acquire during loop initialization.

Host Bus Adapter. An interface between a server or workstation bus and the

Fibre Channel network.
